Dark Times

Last Chapter part 2

Further away, Mal forced himself to stand up. Damn! That hurt. It was an indescribable pain. Who knew that love could hurt so much? It was hurting, but she had to recover. She got up using all her magic. All that learning should do something. She teleported to where Agatha was.

"Looks like it's over."

Mal said, looking into the redhead's eyes.

"Yes, it's over, little daughter of Maleficent." Agatha said, as she felt her chest burn with pain. "The worst is yet to come, Mal." She said laughing. She said laughing. "Your mother didn't learn from me, I learned from her. If I am the way I am, it's thanks to your mother. Maleficent is the greatest villain of all time."

"What do you mean?"

Mal used her magic to stand up.

"Do you know what's stronger than true love?" She laughed, a laugh of sarcasm and of someone who would end up winning all the same. "What comes after it. What true love produces. I'm not the first or the last villain you'll face. And I assure you, Mal, you're still going to face the worst war you've ever seen. Good luck."

Before long, Agatha had passed out of her mortal body. She couldn't take it anyway, that spell and what had just happened were too much.

The two of them died together. Agatha and Harry. It may be ridiculous, but she had her Happy Ending. Her true love and her. It wasn't like other Fairy Tales, but it ended well.

Now it was up to Mal. She had to repair all the damage and find a way to stay on her feet for longer.

Mal took a deep breath, drawing out all the magic she had gained. Tinkerbell, Merlin, Rashid and Genie. Everything she had gained from them had turned into a huge, immense bubble of magic. Whether she would make it out alive was another matter, but she had taken the first step.

"Let's go." She said to herself. And the great power that lay in Mal's magic lay in her intelligence. She knew that she alone wouldn't be able to break Agatha's spell, but her friends would. "Rashid, Genie, Merlin and I add Helena, I give all you back what you gave me." When she said that, the four spells dissolved. Although Helena hadn't given her anything, she could help now. "Magic returns to who you were. The spell doesn't corrupt something that is mine, but is now yours again." Every word Mal said made her lose a little more strength. That part would be painful to do. "I, Maleficent Bertha Faery, give all that you have given me, return now to where you are commanded, magic obey my command."

Mal made everything around her explode in magic. After reciting this chant, she couldn't stand it, there was nothing inside, she fell to the ground without any strength.

"What happened?"

Rashid, Helena, Merlin and Genius wondered the same thing when they felt a trickle of magic return to them. Everything around them remained the same or worse.

"What have you done girl?" Was all Rashid could ask himself, knowing that Mal had done something, whatever was going on. He quickly saw the other three Descendants and immediately knew that they wouldn't last long in that state. His first thought was to teleport to Auradon. "What happened here?" That the place was destroyed was no surprise to him. What caught the boy from Wonderland's attention was the sight of the evil witch lying unconscious. Agatha dead was news. He ran to make sure of what he saw. "Harry?" He couldn't believe that was his friend. He looked like the same old king. "Forgive me." He begged the dead body. He closed his friend's eyes.

"Rashid? What happened?"

Helena, Merlin and Genius appeared soon after.

"I don't know and frankly I don't know if I care to know."
